Hey there,

Attached are the screenshots off HWM of all the system components.

Thanks for your time.

From what I see the temps are in the normal.

@Bruce let me get a second pair or eyes and see what they think.

I’m not concerned about any of those temps, although slightly elevated, the HDD’s are fine.
just confirming - the system speed is now back to normal?

as a side issue, I’d be replacing the thermal paste under the CPU heatsink. it’s been running very hot for a while and may have had some life expectancy taken off it if not dried out prematurely.

and another side issue - although Speccy seems to have been on the money this time, it has a very long running bug of misreporting motherboard and CPU temps, so as you have done, always seek out other programs for a second opinion.

Thanks to both of you for all the attention and tips.

System is back to normal indeed. The thermal paste was replaced when I installed the new fan. It should be fine now.

What’s the red line temp for each component? What figure should start to worry me in the future?

See if this help with monitoring temps.
